IF DRAGONS WERE HEARTACHE
If dragons were heartache
Then mine would be slayed
If love were a color
Then you're my favorite shade
You brighten the darkness
With your light that won’t fade
You’re a blanket of grass
And I love every blade
If stars were your laughter
I’d live for the night
And trace every sparkle
That feels like your light
You silence my chaos
By just being in sight
You catch all my tears
And make everything right
You’re comfort and fire
You’re protection and flame
You’re the calm in the storm
That I whisper by name
If it were anyone else
I would not feel the same
You’re my greatest love
And your heart I do claim
You’re my favorite person
And you’ve never lied
And you’ve always healed me
The times I have cried
So if ever I wander
Too far from your side
Please know that I love you
Forever with pride
So if dragons were heartache
And love was the cure
Then you’d be my shelter
Where I’d feel secure
I'm glad that my journey
Took a detour
For it led me to love
That is sacred and pure
